If you feel that this level of ball is beneath you, then don't accept the assignment in the first place (unless you're just more concerned about sucking up an easy paycheck).
Every game should get your best effort- even the crappy ones that might run a little bit longer than normal. To me, "best effort" doesn't include walking off before the game reaches it's conclusion.
This contradiction always makes me scratch my head: Guys chomp at the bit all winter long to get out on the ballfield, then once the games get going they're hellbent to get them over with and hit the road as fast as they can. You're supposed to like umpiring. Why not stick around and enjoy it a few more minutes?
Did you have a hot date something?
